Volume mismatch [SOLVED]
Volume mismatch
There is a mismatch between the volume displayed on the chart (Total Vol in left-click price data box) and from "Volume" keyword in a strategy. The "correct" volume I want is displayed in the chart. Why does "Volume" in a strategy not match this value and how can I get it to do so?

Please go to the wiki and look up the definition of the following keywords:
volume
ticks
ps. this is a legacy idiosyncrasy
Re: Volume mismatch
I went to the wiki page:Please go to the wiki and look up the definition of the following keywords:

https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... php/Volume
And it really doesn't help.
I do have "Build Volume On" set to "Trade Volume" but the page doesn't speak to this issue, or else I'm simply misunderstanding.
So how can I either (1) configure MultiCharts so that the "Volume" keyword reflects the same value that I see in the chart data box or (2) what keyword do I use to access that volume data?

Re: Volume mismatch [SOLVED]
TJ, I appreciate that you are trying to help, but your references have not shed light on the subject. I have looked up Tick (https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... .php/Ticks), tried various other possibilities in the strategy (Volume, Ticks, DailyVolume, etc.), changed Instrument settings, etc., and none of these approaches have yielded the same volume value as displayed in the chart.Please look up
TICKS
I finally found that the keyword Symbol_Volume is yielding the expected result. I still don't understand what value "Volume" is presenting or why it is not the same as "Symbol_Volume".
